Lol I was thinking about something else when I mentioned Beltran But Santana was in our organization

 

[mez 0ne]

True.

.......and while the Mets got nothing for Kazmir, he hasn't really fulfilled his potential (he is a 5 inning pitcher, and is very injury prone).

Mets should have never traded Seaver.

you can pretty much say after we win a world series every member of that team won't be back in 2 years tops. Jeffrey Loria FTL
At least you win before losing all your players. Pirates have players get good and then they leave prior to any winning done. Sucks. If onlyBarry roided up in Pittsburgh and hit over .150 in the playoffs, Pirates would have at least 2 championships from the early 90's. Anyway, too many toname, Bay is the latest player to get good and then even better once gone from Pitt

He ran his course in your organization. I think they were as patient as possible with Josh.
